Application January 11, 1939, Serial No. 250,415 1 Claim. (or 131-210) Another object of the invention is to provide an air vent adjacent the bowl for the purpose of mixing cool air with the smoke passing from the bowl to the stem of the pipe.

A still further object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is elhcient and reliable in performance, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.

details of construction as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts through out. and in which- V Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view, and Figure 2 is a horizontal longitudinal sectional view. Referring now to the drawing in detail, wherein Ior the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates the bowl of the pipe having the stem 6 extending therefrom, a smoke passage 1 leading from the bowl rearwardly through the stem and terminating in an enlargedchamber 8. Within the end of the stem 6 is frictionally fitted an internally threaded metallic sleeve 9 with which is threadedly engaged a metallic connector ll] having a tubular end portion H and a solid end portion 12.

An intermediate portion of the tubular end portion H is externally threaded as shown at l3 for threaded engagement withthe sleeve 9 and the outer end of the end portion H is smooth and frictionally fitted in the mouth-piece I4, the smoke passage l5 of the mouth-piece being arranged in longitudinal alignment with the smoke passage Iii of the tubular end portion ii. The smoke passages 15 and it are preferably of oblong cross-sectional shape with their long walls extending vertically and the vertical walls of the passages taper toward the outer end of the mouth-piece. It will be understood however, the

00 Other objects and advantages resides in the passages i5 and it may be round in cross-section,

. The. inner end of the passage l8 terminates in inclined passages l'l communicating with the chamber 8 and the solid end portion l2 which 5.

extends inwardly from the passages H is of tapering form and terminates in a rounded head it positioned in spaced relation with the end of the smoke passage 1, said solid end portion i2 being maintained in spaced relation with respect 10 to the walls of the chamber 8 as will be apparent. Immediately adjacent the rear end of the p ssages. ii are also provided a plurality of openings iil extending-through the walls of the tubular end portion 1, said openings likewise com- 15 muni'cating with the chamber 8.

- The upper portion of the stem 6 is provided with an air vent 28 which communicates with the inner end of the chamber 8.

{In the operation of the device it will be ap- 2O parent .that nicotine and particles of tobacco w passing through the smoke passage 'I' will be col-' lected in the chamber 3 and likewise any saliva collecting in the smoke passage 15 of the mouthpiece will be drained through the openings i9 25 as, well as through the passages ll also into the chamber 8.

It is believed the details of construction will be readily understood from the foregoing without further detailed explanation.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

A smoking pipe comprising a bowl having a stem leading therefrom, said stem being provided with a smoke passage terminating in an enlarged 5 chamber, an internally threaded sleeve fitting in the rear end of the chamber, a mouthpiece having a smoke passage therein which gradually increases in size from its outer to its inner end and said inner end being enlarged to form a 40 socket, a condenser forming member having a and head being spaced from the walls of the chamber, the stem of the bowl having a port in its upper portion for admitting air'into that part of 1 the chamber in which is located the head of the condenser member, said head being slightly spaced from the outlet end of the small part of 55 iii the bore through a lower part of the tubular portion and one of the passages also passing through a lower portion of the condenser member, that part of the tubular portion of the condenser mem ber located in the chamber of the stem being 5 spaced from the walls of said chamber.
